'Equations of Life' by Simon Morden is pretty hard sci-fi. It's very near future though - set in about 15 years from what I remember, and there's no intersteller travel or anything - just really advanced computing, internet, and futuristic tech.Requia said:So the well grounded anime thread got me thinking that I really liked PlanetES, and I'd like to watch/read some more near future hard science fiction. What are your recommends for recent near future scifi?
Some other stuff I recently enjoyed were the novels Halting State and Rule 34 by Charles Stross.
